MARY MARY
"This Love"
When you say love
You use it so lightly
But when I think of it
This is what comes to me
Loving me, where I am
How I am
Just for who I am
All my good and bad
Sure you think
It's not a possibility
Something so pure it changes me
When after all these years it's still
The same
Just as strong as it was on the first day
This love this love
The only love
That comes down from the heavens
({F. Hammond:} why do you love)
Better than mothers, better than
Fathers oh oh oh
This love this love
This love is your love
This love is my love
({F. Hammond:} why do you love)
This love this love
From God the Father
God up in heaven you oughta know
{F. Hammond:}
So you ask, what about me
Sounds real good
But doesn't fit the life I lead
But let me tell you something
There is nothing new under the sun
'n' I don't care what you've done
His heart is or everyone
Chorus
Everybody oughta know his love is real
Said you really oughta know
Tell me can you feel
Everybody oughta know
I'm talking to you
Please don't walk away from
Chorus
This love this loveour course is coarsely plotted
on a map of shoddy dreams
and hindsight will reveal
time's moving faster than it seems
and maybe i'm just selfish
cause ive got nothing left to give
im still a foolish boy
ive got a lifetime left to live
i was swinging like a madman,
not quite sure what i'd felled
and i might never understand
exactly what it was i'd held
now i watch the sun descending
from the weathered gravel roof
and i recall the sky once told me
that all lies lead to the truth
so i'll look the other way
and i'll turn a deafened ear
and i'll talk of distant lands
and pretend i was never here
reality beads on my skin
like a slicker in the rain
but now i feel it's soaking in
and i begin to feel the pain
i fight the urge to run to you
this is how it has to be
we've gotta step away
right now we're just to close to see
so i'll look the other way
and i'll turn a deafened ear
and I'll talk of distant lands
and pretend I was never here
